I believe it is on the left side, before the manual counters, if coming from T1.

Because of cherry blossom?

dont think so because other airlines like BR and CI almost the same average price other than 228 and sch holiday week. And Taiwan most area sakura bloom on feb except chiayi/alishan on march.

Not exactly.
They do close early on festive periods due to manpower crunch.
Taiwaneses do travel back to their hometown.

Depends on what y r spending on, if street food most of the time and public transport, around s$50 per day per person should suffice.

There is poster big big showing citizens from eligible countries can enroll e-gate. A bit hard to miss one, just look around when nearing manual counters.

most shopping malls like Breeze, FE21, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store aka 新光三越 accept visa, mastercard and amex (美通)... Youtrip, CC/DC, etc... are accepted... I never try unionpay before though... hahaha...

For shops in XMD, not many shops accepting credit cards... some shops may have green color card machine but they dun seems to accept international cc...

What about during the day? Any places/attractions to explore?

Temples are open throughout the years.
Same as Jiufen /Shifen.
So if you talk about retailers, they are only taking some time to rest during this period.
